Earned Value Gantt Chart
Example

Earned
Value has been used since the 1960ís by the Department of Defense as a
central part of the C/SCSC (Cost/Schedule Control Systems Criteria).
Recently, the DOD revised the 35 criteria contained in the C/SCSC and
produced the 32 criteria for EVMS (Earned Value Management Systems).

These criteria have since been accepted by the American National
Standards Institute/Electronic Industry Association as a new standard,
called ANSI/EIA 748. Now, EVM is being used in a wider variety of
government contracts, and is spreading through the private sector as a
valuable tool for project managers.

All Schedules on this web site were created using Milestones software.
This includes Milestones Professional, which is a powerful, fast, and easy
to use project scheduler,
and Milestones Simplicity, a basic program for creating Gantt charts. These programs can both be used to
present schedules.
They are both great examples of
project planning
software.
